But for those wanting to see the next chapter in the tomfoolery, the Heat and Pacers schedules will have little to do with when we see the action pick up again. With Lance Stephenson in Charlotte with the Hornets and LeBron back in Cleveland with the Cavaliers, the duo won’t be playing each other again until December 15th — but the wait seems like it will be worth it.

It will be interesting to see if the same Lance Stephenson from the Conference Finals will show up in a new uniform with the Charlotte Hornets, but either way there will be eyes on that game when Stephenson and LeBron meet again.
Both players are in new situations and the circumstances have changed, but the animosity may still be there and LeBron going up against Stephenson will again be must-watch television.
